All seemed to install okay.
One thing I noticed when I attempted to active using moblock-control:
# moblock-control update
Error 66: Missing directory /var/spool/moblock/used.
Check the BLOCKLISTS_DIR_USED setting.
BLOCKLISTS_DIR_USED is set in /etc/moblock/moblock.conf.
I did a:
[root@myth-bathroom rc.d]# mkdir /var/spool/moblock/used
[root@myth-bathroom rc.d]# moblock-control update
Updating blocklists and reloading MoBlock: moblock
Updating blocklists and reloading MoBlock: moblock[root@myth-bathroom rc.d]#
It seems to work, but it's totally unclear to me how this does or doesn't update itself via cron jobs like it does on R5.5... I'm just too new at Arch :)
I also noticed some of the config files seems to be missing. If you run mobloquer from the GUI you'll see what I mean. Let me get with the dev of moblock and see if I can sort this out and report back. Please keep the task open.

probably need to symlink the moblock-update script to /etc/cron.daily/ (assuming it runs once a day)
How often should it run?

Daily I believe...

Cool, installed all three packages and found there only need to be two little modifications:
1) Create a dir: # mkdir /var/spool/moblock/used
2) Modify the /etc/moblock/blocklists.list and change the line that reads www.bluetack.co.uk/config/templist.gz to read www.bluetack.co.uk/config/badpeers.gz
Now the user can run the update script which fetches the block lists and compiles them via: # moblock-control update
(this will take some time 2-3 min).
We can consider adding two things to the LinHES system at this point:
1) Make moblock a service so it starts at boot.
2) Add a cron job so that moblock-control updates automatically... perhaps every 2 days is good.
Thoughts? Thank you for adding this to the LinHES repos by the way :)

[[http://moblock-deb.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/moblock-deb/moblock-control/moblock-control/init?view=markup&pathrev=277|Here]] is the startup script.
[[http://moblock-deb.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/moblock-deb/moblock-control/moblock-control/cron.daily?view=markup&pathrev=277|Here]] is the cron job script.
Here is jre's comments (he's the dev):
//Just follow the links and click "download".
Save "init" as /etc/init.d/moblock and "cron" as /etc/cron.daily/moblock.
Then make them executable (e.g. "sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/moblock").
There's not much more in those files, then what you suggest. Just some messages for the logfile and terminal and a test, if their execution is disabled by user configuration. And for the init several options to call it (stop, start, reload, restart).//

The provided scripts will not work well as a proper runit service.
To start moblock on boot add it to /etc/runit/1.local
"/usr/bin/moblock-control start " seems to work fine for me
